With university finished or some well-deserved annual leave from your job, you want to pack some cool experiences into your summer.
Travel may well be at the centre of that. Whether trekking the Great Wall of China, lazing on a Phuket beach or moshing at Glasto – you want to remember this as the summer of no regrets.
Make sure you do remember those incredible moments too with a camera designed to suit you.
Capture your bucket-list adventures in amazing detail
When you need a camera that’s up to the job of capturing stunning details and vivid colours, a mirrorless camera makes a great choice because you get all the power of a professional DSLR without all the heavy kit.
Choose: Mirrorless camera
The Canon EOS M50 mirrorless camera comes with a wide-angle lens and a telephoto lens, so you can capture everything from local flora to huge landscapes. And, because it’s mirrorless, all this tech is packed into a small body which won’t break your back to carry around.

• Fully connected with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth
• Intuitive touchscreen and viewfinder for lining up the perfect shot
• Wide-angle zoom and telephoto lens for the best photos in any situation

You’re travelling with only your backpack – all you have is T-shirts, pants, blow-up pillows and paperwork. There’s no room for bulky camera accessories.
Choose: High performance compact camera
With the latest technology you can get excellent picture quality in a pocket-sized package. With a high performance compact camera you’ll get much better shots to your smartphone.
Look out for:

Look out for:
• Hypersmooth Image stabilisation for minimum shakiness
• Voice control to adjust settings without messing up the shot
• Live streaming capabilities so your mates can follow your adventures in real-time

Robust and built to last for all weathers
If it can withstand a few knocks in case you get jostled around in a mosh pit, and is waterproof so a downpour won’t stop you in your tracks, you’ll be happy with a hybrid.
Choose: Action-Compact camera hybrid
As we’re all aware, the weather in the UK can be a bit hit or miss, so you’ll want a camera that’s ready for anything but can still capture great shots.
The Fujifilm XP140 tough compact camera was built with photography and the great outdoors in mind. Maybe not festivals specifically, but this rugged little camera is certainly perfect for the job. And, now that you’ve got a camera to snap all the best memories, you won’t kill your precious phone battery and have to pay any costly recharging fees.

• Tough design for photos in any conditions
• High-performance sensor to create the best photos
• Full-HD video capabilities for filming that mosh pit
